Tire type for custom flash

I'm scheduled to get an AMS custom flash next month and would like to know what tires are appropriate. I currently have winter "Blizzak" tires installed. What tire speeds are reached during dyno tuning?

we will usually do 3rd gear pulls on stock turbo Evo's to about 7-7200 Rpm. Figure in the 100 mph range.

Thanks, I should probably change back to summer tires as the Blizzaks are only rated to 100 mph.
